Big Ears : You spoilt my reply to SLF3.

SLF3 :
From memory, BA average 0.3 million crashes per million flights. The risk in taking a flight is thus infinitesimally small. I subjectively prefer 4 engines, but 2 is safe enough for me.
30% Crash Rate, Bloody Hell !!!

Theo Racle : Spot on.

PAXBoy : Spot on.

In fact all pax really want is more leg room. It may take the airlines a long time to realise it but 10 - 20 quid extra per ticket on a long haul flight is more than worth the extra dosh if you are more comfortable.

Guvnor : May I suggest that the odds in winning the Jackpot on the lottery INCREASE the more tickts you buy rather than in your example where the odds of winning Decrease the more tickets you buy. (Just Joshing with 'ya there !! ) .
Personally I am going to buy 1/14,000,000th of a ticket for wednesdays draw. Cheap at 0.0000001p I'd say - and a guaranteed winner !!!
